Keith Urban's Guitarist's Dating Mantra Resurfaces Amid Shock Nicole Kidman Split

Has Keith Urban's guitarist, Maggie Baugh, abandoned her dating mantra?

The rumor mills are non-stop rolling, and now, one of the guitarist's guiding principles when it comes to romantic adventures has come under scrutiny since an alleged fling with the country singer.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman literally took the newsrooms across America by storm when the actress filed for divorce from the singer last Tuesday.

The lens panned out to a poignant statement from the instrumentalist from eight years ago, where she promised never to engage in anything romantic with a bandmate, no matter the situation.

The 2017 video featured Baugh giving a verdict that going out romantically with other band members was not a good idea. Her reason for this is that such a relationship is against the ethics of professionalism, as it may negatively impact everyone on the tour and the band's progress if the romance goes sour. 

Well, since the rumors of a relationship between Urban and the guitarist started brewing, Baugh has suddenly become very scarce, even as serious as missing his Pennsylvania concert.

However, TMZ reported that while it may have been designed that way to dispel any gossip, she is also not a permanent member of the band and was covering for Natalie Stovall.

The Blast stated that eagle-eyed spectators have uncovered several instances where Urban and his guitarist fueled rumors of something brewing between them.

During one of his previous shows, the singer performed one of his hit tracks, "The Fighter," which was initially dedicated to Kidman. He craftily altered the initial lyrics, which read:

"When they're tryna get to you, baby I'll be the fighter," and changed it to "When they're tryna get to you, Maggie I'll be your guitar player."

While the encounter on stage happened before their divorce, Baugh posted the clip on Saturday, captioning it: "Did he just say that?" This act by the country star sparked criticism towards Urban and his decision to make such a drastic change to the sentimental song.

The decision to dissolve the marriage was reportedly a mutual one, and it was very amicable for the sake of their two children. Kidman and Urban's filing reportedly carried both of their signatures and included a parenting plan, a child support plan, and a parenting seminar order. 

The layout dictated how the couple would navigate their co-parenting arrangement, including their children spending 306 days with Kidman and the remaining 59 with their father.

The agreement also stipulates that the actress has the right to make the final call should she and Urban ever disagree on important matters. Kidman also requested to be made the primary residential parent for the children.

The year started on a dramatic note for Urban as he decided to disband his band, which had been together for over two decades, by laying off its members. The Blast noted that insiders described the move as a midlife crisis, the same notion his estranged wife shared at the time.

He took the same route with his marriage when he went against Kidman's wish to stay together by renting a new home right outside their Nashville residence. Days after Kidman filed for divorce, the country singer was spotted performing at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

He was spotted exiting from the jet without his wedding band and even tweaked the lyrics of one of his hit songs, "You'll Think of Me."

Urban, however, followed up with an adorable slideshow of Kidman alongside their two daughters, sending a message that they remain committed to the well-being of their kids despite the separation.

In what marked her first public sighting since her split from Urban, the actress was spotted hiking in Nashville alongside her younger sister, Antonia. Kidman, who stepped out without her wedding ring, chose to explore a trail very close to her $4 million mansion, which she previously shared with Urban.

The duo was engrossed in an intense conversation during their walk, confirming reports that the actress enjoyed the unwavering support of her sibling throughout the split. The entire Kidman family was not left out of standing in for the actress as a cushion amid her marital woes.

As for Kidman and Urban addressing the divorce, the silence is almost deafening, hence spinning speculations that Urban stepped out on the actress and could not stomach the fact that her acting career was picking up speed again.
